The Ficus elastica 'Burgundy', also known as the rubber plant, is an elegant and luminous plant that catches every eye with its unique foliage. Its large, thick leaves make it a true decorative piece.
Care
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. The more light it receives, the more beautiful its variegation will be. Avoid overly intense direct sunlight.
Watering: Water when the topsoil is dry (2-3 cm). Avoid overwatering; it prefers to dry out slightly between waterings.
Temperature: Thrives between 18 and 26°C. Does not like cold drafts or sudden changes.
Humidity: Tolerates ambient air, but appreciates moderate humidity.
Fertilizer: Fertilize every 2 to 4 weeks in spring and summer with a fertilizer for green plants.
Pruning: Can be pruned to control its height and encourage denser growth.
Repotting: Every 1 to 2 years, or when roots are crowded. Use well-draining potting soil.
